Back to school

[Wyliee]

Most school districts should be in session now or very soon.  I know we have several students on the board (high school, college, trade, etc...).

Good luck to you all in the coming school year!

What, it took ten years to get the school back into shape after you left? 
I started last week - study hard all you kids, unless you have band practice!  And stay off the dang internet on school nights. :icon_thumright:

luckilly my school involved all 3 of those things  :icon_thumright:

I switched my major to a a new digital audio arts degree.  I wasn't going to but its more than becoming an engineer, which I don't think you need to spend thousands of dollars in school to do.  Its still a Bachelor of Music degree but this tiem around I'm learning the science of recording as well as theory, musicianship skills, and composition for media.  As well as some other elective things like programming music algorithms for video games and such.  starting my 2nd semester.  I'm excited.

Although the school will never quite be the same without the cadre of misfit malcontent idiot-savants that I was part of, the same can be said of every class since day one.

But I found, once I started (ahem) teaching, that things are different when looking down the opposite end of the gun barrel.  Fortunately, the teaching end also is the end with the sights, bolt and trigger.  School is important.  Take it seriously.  But not too seriously.  Make it work for you, especially if its free.  Try to find out who you are, and dont mind being different than everyone else.  And then stick to your guns, no matter what.

My classes started last week.  My students were not too happy about the fact that I remodeled the classroom.  It's much harder for them to get away with crap now that I reconfigured the desks.

I teach perceptual drawing, movement and motion (drawing), intro to western art history, and some odd printmaking classes at the university of Florida. Drawing is soooooooooooooo much fun..

 

[hannaugh]

Cool!  I'm more into painting than drawing, but I can do both.  I use the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain exercises on the kids, and I've seen some pretty awesome results.  The makeup classes are where we really get to have fun though.

What is perceptual drawing?  Is that the same as life drawing?  I've never heard that term as a class title.
